Communication in first data channel is sent and received using the first agreement, and the communication profit in the second data channel Sent and received with second protocol.As noted above, the first agreement can be XMPP, and second protocol can be HTTP.With reference to Fig. 2, messaging services 16 in fact notify that using first data channel equipment 12 is ready to from uniforms for worker Operation is retrieved in business 14.Equipment 12 is then using the second data channel come from the retrieval operation of job service 14.It is advantageous that message is passed Take business 16 to be not to wait for the first communication is sent in the case of the request of equipment 12.
Fig. 7 depicts the workflow from system from the perspective of extensive.The system includes that job service 14, messaging takes Business 16, messaging client 30, server 32 and operation client 34.It should be pointed out that part 30,32 and 34 is equipment 12 part.In the example of figure 7, messaging services 16 are used as XMPP server, and messaging client is that XMPP is objective Family end.Additionally, server 32 is used as LEDM (low side data model) REST (representative state transfer) interface.Messaging client End 30 can be set up lasting XMPP with messaging services 16 and be connected.Via the connection, can notify that 12 operation of equipment can use In retrieving from job service 14.Additionally, equipment 12 rapidly can provide job status information to print service 14.
In one exemplary embodiment, messaging client 30 realizes XMPP core stacks (RFC 3920,3921) With IBB (with interior binary system) agreement (XEP 0047).Messaging services 16 trustship (host) equipment 12 and other similar devices The XMPP server group for communicating.Each node trustship equipment 12 or another equipment in XMPP server group is used The internal part that XMPP message is communicated.The content of the XMPP message transmitted between equipment 12 and Messaging Server 16 To allow equipment 12 and print service 14 to ask and respond in accordance with the LEDM REST of common communication contract.
When first time is to electricity on equipment 12, it points out user to allow to communicate with print service 14.If user agrees to, that Equipment 12 is using the REST API (application programming interfaces) above such as TLS (transmission safe floor) to 16 note of messaging services Volume oneself.Messaging services 16 are that equipment 12 creates XMPP account, and distribute new client id and password to equipment 12. Messaging services 16 also provide as messaging services 16 Hostname and joint detail client id with And together with the port list of its priority.Messaging client 30 can safeguard XMPP registers or " good friend arranges Table ".Register can remain empty to avoid transmitting the expense involved by existence information.
Equipment 12 tries to be connected to messaging services 16 in its default port (such as 5222).Connection because of The reason for fire wall is limited and it is unsuccessful in the case of, it according to priority order using such as 5223,80 and 443 etc it is standby Port retries.If successful connection, then client id and mouth that messaging client 30 was received using which between the waiting period Order signs in messaging services 16.All of XMPP communications can be passed with message in messaging client 30 above TLS Take and occur between business 16 to assist in ensuring that data integrity and to hide the information of sensitive or individual.
In Successful login, equipment 12 is considered to be ready to receive the operation from job service 14.It should be pointed out that Equipment 12 create only one be connected with the TCP (transmission control protocol) of messaging services 16 and multiple IBB sessions with Will pass through TCP connections and concurrently send and receive message.One IBB session can be used for LEDM requests and respond and another Can be by equipment 12 for operation and device events are sent to messaging services 16.This separation allows to be taken by messaging The different parts of business 16 are servicing different types of message.
In the following discussion, equipment 12 is that printer and job service 14 are responsible for paying print job.When initial, use Document and any parameter setting are uploaded to job service 14 by family.Document is presented to beating for printer 12 by job service 16 In print operation.Print job meets the specific format of the such as PCL (printer control language) for the design of printer 12 etc.Beat Print operation is now ready for equipment 12 is sent to together with any parameter setting.
Job instruction is sent to messaging services (step 104) by job service 14.In this example, step 104 is led to Cross using HTTP transmission LEDM REST requests and complete.The request includes job instruction.The job instruction includes beating for retrieval Print operation and the URL of any parameter setting.LEDM REST requests are packaged into (step in XMPP message by messaging services 16 106) and by the XMPP message send to messaging client 30 (step 108).
Messaging client 30 extracts LEDM REST requests (step 110) from XMPP message.Then, messaging Client 30 asks to make HTTP request (step 112) to server 32 using the LEDM REST for extracting.The process of server 32 should LEDM REST are asked and are returned http response (step 114).As noted above, LEDM REST request include for In the case of the request of status information, the response can include asked status information.Messaging client 30 is received should Response, and (step 116) in XMPP message is packaged into, and the XMPP message is sent to messaging services (step 118).Response (step 120) is extracted in the XMPP message that messaging services 16 are sent from step 118 and the response is turned It is sent to job service 14.
The request made to server 32 in step 112 includes job instruction.The job instruction is forwarded to by server 32 Operation client 34.Operation client 34 is made for the printing from job service 14 using the URL that job instruction includes The HTTP request (step 126) of operation.Used as response, job service 14 returns print job (step 128) in http response. Then operation client 34 causes equipment 12 to produce print job using any parameter setting that job instruction includes.
All LEDM REST requests and response are via XMPP message via XMPP channel transfers.Each XMPP message is not Sent in the case of receiving the request for the message or its content first.Print job data is not sent out on that channel Send.On the contrary, as noted, used as the response of HTTP request, print job is transmitted via HTTP passages.XMPP leads to Communication on road is kept as very gently, and this allows each XMPP server group (in messaging services 16) to process thousands of beating Print machine is more.
